Vestibular Input May Support Speech and Language Through:
Improved postural control for respiratory and oral-motor stability.
Enhanced sensorimotor integration for coordinated speech production.
Increased motor planning (praxis) for speech sequencing.
Better bilateral integration supporting communication tasks.
Improved oculomotor control for visual attention and reading readiness.
Regulation of arousal and attention for language learning.
Enhanced auditory processing through vestibulo-auditory interactions.
Support of cerebellar and cortical networks involved in language.
Improved executive functioning and working memory.
